Currently a sophomore at Highlands Latin School, Daniel has attended since kindergarten. He is a member of the Art Club and serves on the set crew for Drama Troupe performances. His greatest contribution to the drama productions, however, may be his exceptional artwork.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1263\" src=\"https:\/\/hls.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/dsc_0062.jpg?w=368\" alt=\"DSC_0062.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"436\" \/><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mrs. Teresa Boling, the Drama Troupe director, approached Daniel in 2017 and asked him to create a poster to advertise the upcoming performance of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sherlock<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. She had already heard about Daniel\u2019s talent. Within a week, Daniel completed the requested artwork. Since that first poster, Daniel has drawn the promotional materials for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Curious Savage<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Music Man<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and most recently <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anne of Green Gables<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Daniel\u2019s admirers noticed that his artwork for the drama productions uniquely features the likenesses of HLS students in their various roles. Daniel said he was always interested in adding real people to the posters, and he felt confident enough in his skills to portray the actual actors and actresses in the cast starting with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Curious Savage<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Mrs. Boling commented, \u201cWe love the artwork Daniel creates using the images of the students involved in the show. It makes our shows&#8217; posters unique and cherished. He is not a man of many words usually, but he speaks volumes through his art and we are all left speechless.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019ve probably been drawing for as long as I can remember,\u201d Daniel said. He realized his talent early on when teachers recognized his drawings\u2019 quality far exceeded the capability of most students his age. In fourth grade, at the encouragement of HLS art teacher Janice Murdoch, Daniel began taking Louisville Visual Art classes on a weekly basis. While a variety of classes are offered, Daniel focuses on drawing since he wants to hone his skill in colored pencils. Currently Daniel\u2019s kitchen table serves as his art studio because he appreciates the natural light of the room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel has received several public accolades for his artwork. At the 2018 Kentucky State Fair, Daniel won third place for drawing in any medium and placed fifth for crafts, sculpture, and 3D objects. He also earned awards for pieces submitted in previous years to the Kentucky State Fair.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1272 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/hls.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/dsc_0044_small.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0044_Small\" width=\"301\" height=\"421\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel said his friends in his grade have supported him in his art by offering advice and encouragement. His favorite thing about HLS is that \u201cyou know everyone &#8230; at least in high school, I can point someone out and tell at least one characteristic about them.\u201d He also noted the unique influence of the teachers at HLS on his artistic pursuits, in particular Mrs. Murdoch and Mrs. Boling. When asked about his future plans, Daniel said, \u201cI definitely want to keep on doing art. I don\u2019t ever want to put it down.\u201d He hopes to pursue marketing or graphic design and creating movie posters or other advertisements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel\u2019s developing talent and bright future are summed up by Mrs. Murdoch. \u201cI have had the privilege of seeing Daniel\u2019s artistic talent develop since first grade,\u201d she said. \u201cHis primary and lower school artwork was indicative of his innate talent, and in sixth grade his Jan van Eyck triptych and Mrs. Mangione teacher sign for the art show were \u2018Wow\u2019 and \u2018Amazing\u2019 exclamation points. From this point onward, Daniel has been wowing HLS with his amazing poster work for the HLS Drama Troupe productions. His future as a successful artist is his for the taking should he choose it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Young has a gift.
